From my experience, when you doing a factory inspection for an out of country requirement, such as CCC, the inspectors will be there for more than one day.
My CCC audit at my old company was 2+ days. This was for a simple ITE product. The audit/inspection covered our quality system, my lab as well as the manufacturing facilities. The inspectors (3 of them) checked our logs to ensure 100% hipot/ground testing. Checked cal system for my lab equipment as well as equipment on the line that is used for safety testing purposes. The entire ordeal was like a mixture of an ISO type audit as well as like a UL/CSA type audit. I must say I learned a lot about Chinese customs that week as well.
